VisitWiltshire launches 2010 brochures

1 February 2010

VisitWiltshire has launched its 2010 visitor brochures, offering advice on 'Where to Stay' and 'What to Do' for people planning a trip to the county.

Where to stay
The 2010 Where to Stay brochure offers a choice of some 300 accommodation providers, plus an introductory section which acts as a helpful resource when deciding what to do in Wiltshire by providing details of numerous events, activities and attractions.

The accommodation section is helpfully broken down into areas, meaning visitors can pick up a copy, flick to the page which highlights part of Wiltshire they are planning to stay in and then choose from a range of hotels, B&Bs, self-catering and camping/caravanning options.

This year the brochure features more properties than ever before with a wide choice of stunning county house hotels, something for which Wiltshire is justly famed.

The choice on offer suits all tastes and budgets from luxury five star hotels such as Whatley Manor near Malmesbury where rooms start from £295, through to great value B&Bs such as Holly Tree House near Salisbury where double rooms are available from only £44.

Alun Williams, Head of Partnership, VisitWiltshire, commented: "The 2010 brochure showcases the many reasons why visitors come to enjoy the great range of accommodation available right across Wiltshire. All these properties have been independently assessed, either by VisitBritain or the AA. Such is the quality of these providers that a growing number are achieving four and five star assessments in their category. Additional information on all our quality assessed members along with a variety of special offers, year round, can be found on our website at www.visitwiltshire.co.uk."

What to do
VisitWiltshire's What to Do guide is the best source of information about attractions, activities and events for visitors to the county.

The pocket sized comprehensive guide not only provides information about the county's key attractions such as Longleat, Stourhead, Stonehenge and Avebury, Salisbury Cathedral and Bowood but also contains details on those suitable for families, as well as many fascinating, but lesser known attractions.

New for 2010 are the special offer vouchers valid at a host of attractions from two for one entry at Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum to free beer samples at Wadworth Brewery - a must for all adults!

In addition to covering attractions the guide provides information about events, sports and leisure activities plus offering advice on great routes for walkers and cyclists, whether they are looking for flat easy day routes to long distance trails such as Wiltshire Cycle Way, a 160 mile route covering a variety of different terrains. For walkers there are numerous shorter walks and longer alternatives include the famous Ridgeway or the White Horse Trail and Mid Wilts Way. Whatever visitors opt to try they are sure to be taking in some great attractions en-route!

Williams highlights "Whether you are visiting the county to pick up a bargain at Swindon Designer Outlet Centre, learn about flora and fauna at one of the world class gardens or drive like a maniac at Castle Combe circuit, we have something for everyone. Visitors could easily fill a week and still have lots of reasons to come back to visit other attractions highlighted within the guide."

Both guides are free and can be picked up at any of the 17 regional Tourist Information Centres or can be requested via www.visitwiltshire.co.uk.
